Shoutbox Hack 1.04b

11/09/04 - Version 1.04b. Just an installer upgrade, nothing more. Nothing to see here, move along.

10/22/04 - Version 1.04a released. This is not an upgrade from 1.04. If you already have 1.04 installed, don't worry about this. This release just updates the installer and fixes any errors in it. If you had problems installing it last time, this should work better. If you need support, posting it here may get it answered, though posting at the board at GeekyDesigns.com is prefered.

This is the same hack formerly released by Link14716.

08/30/04 4:19 PM EDT: Fixed a settings bug (I hope): see this post.

08/29/04: Shoutbox 1.04 is released, featuring a new installer system (using the Hack Installer System) and redone templates, as well as a few bug fixes. Enjoy.

Presenting: The Shoutbox Hack


Support posts made at GeekyDesigns.com have a higher priority than posts made in this thread, and is the prefered way of getting support.



There are way too many features to list, so I'll just let the screenshots do the talking.

nope there is no good working shoutbox for vb3.0.7, i wish someone would code one

[saint_seiya]

Wow, I guess thats the big drawback of upgrading apparently. Has anyone tried a complete reinstall of the sb?

[Zacharicus]

Works like a charm on 3.0.7 here

[loonytune15]

I have it running on 3.0.7 and have had no worries so far.

My only concern with it is this. How do i make it smaller in height? Its too big height wise and is making my page very long.

[cgwillis]

Edit the Iframe size in your forum home header template. Just look around for height somewhere in the Shoutbox code.

Goto your AdminCP and look at the Usergroups..click that and check each usergrounp out ie: member

THen scroll unstil you see something about the shoutbox, change it to yes..
I think!!!...I can't remember and since it does not work on my site I removed it....

But I do remember you have to set it up thru usergroups to be able to see it!!

[xtreme-mobile]

hi bbcvman i know what your saying but my problem is something went wrong with the install and for some reason the option to set permissions aint there. is there a way of sorting this?
